Making flashcards with the problem on one side and the answer on the other and repeatedly quizzing oneself is an effective way to memorize multiplication tables. This method allows for repetition and reinforces the association between the problem and the answer. Option A might be overwhelming and confusing, trying to memorize all problems in one day. Option B is ineffective as cramming all the information the day before the test might lead to forgetting information by the test day. Option C may be too passive and not conducive to active learning where the learner needs to recall information from memory.
